ABOUT THE RESORT
White Stallion Ranch was originally built in the 1900s and began as a cattle ranch. The original property was constructed of Mexican adobe brick made of mud and straw. During the renovation, wire and horseshoes were found behind and in the walls. A small area of the original adobe is on display in the ranch's dining room, the original building.

In 1965, Allen and Cynthia True came from Colorado to make the ranch their home, with Russell, just five years old, and Michael still in a crib.
The ranch consisted of 17 rooms, 17 horses, and 200 acres. The number of Guest Ranches left in the area had dropped to about 30, most were casualties of Tucson’s Urban Sprawl. With an eye toward the future, Allen and Cynthia began purchasing adjacent land as it became available, increasing the ranch to 3,000 acres.

The ranch offers 43 rooms and a 5-bedroom Hacienda as guest accommodations. While maintaining the traditions of the West with many of the original buildings still in use, Russell and Michael have added sunken tennis courts, a movie theater, a new pool and hot tub area with a serenity patio, lighted sports courts, a spa area, and fitness center. They have established one of Arizona's largest privately owned herds of horses and a large herd of cattle.

The rest, as they say – is history. Today you’ll meet the third generation of Trues – working side by side with their sleeves rolled up, serving guests in the family tradition.
